Changes to cash games

Here are a few changes I would like to see to the cash tables, I think all other players would agree but please post your thoughts too.

1) Buyins- all tables 20bb min 100bb max,(can we have suggested amount to 100bb not 40bb)
2) Types of games - Get rid of all fixed limit and pot limit games no one plays them just clutters lobby up.
3) Blind levels - Get rid of all different levels e.g. 80nl,100nl,200nl,300nl,400nl,500nl. I would suggest having 5NL,10NL,20NL,50NL,100NL,200NL,500NL,1000NL. Just daft having so small increments.
4) When people sit out either they have lost there stack or taking a break can we make it a standard 5 min, theres not enough time to have a break and people who have lost their stack seem to be left there ages.

    when a player has lost his stack the top up page should auto pop up and not just sat out, he or she then has 30 seconds to reload or they will be stood from the table.

    I think the problem here is that too any people click the x at the top right without standing which sits you in until you get booted.

    I say when you click the x you stand

    also make the filters in the lobby remember your preferences and have more filters so you can make it only show certain limits for example

    Can we also have the option to block an individuals chat at the table, and not just have to completely turn chat off

    Point 1 - I agree with this although for those that like to play really deep there could be 1 deep stack table available for every level. I used to play a fair bit of 10NL & I still can't understand why you can sit down with 200bb!

    Point 2 - Generally agree with this although I have seen a few of the pot limit tables going so maybe keep those (1 available for every level though)

    Point 3 - Personally I disagree with this. Although I'm fairly sure there's not particularly a big jump in skill level between close levels (ie 20NL then 30NL), I can see it can help people slowly move up the levels without feeling way out of their depth. I mainly play 20NL at the moment but would'nt feel comfortable jumping straight up to 50NL. Maybe it's a psychological thing? At the moment I sit down with £20 but jumping up to NL50 would mean sitting down with £50 which I think for most people would be kind of scary & that would affect their game. Of course, good BR management should come into play here as well if you're gonna jump levels but I think a lot of people (probably most) feel more comfortable making the jumps in smaller steps.

    Point 4 - Yeah I agree with this. I think on cash tables you should be given at least 5 minutes & maybe it could even increase if you've been there for a while? I think that when you lose your stack you should get a pop up giving you 20-30 seconds to reload or you're automatically booted off. I find it really frustrating waiting for a seat to come available cos someone's not bothered reloading & have just clicked the X rather than the stand button.
